Dukes of Hazzard - Ahh! memories of  Daisy Duke bent over the General Lee - Lovely Bum!!  I think that started with my obsession with that part of the female anatomy 

What HAS stood the test of time?

Well...pretty much everything Oliver Postgate did.  He was the master of kids TV.
For me, the big two of his were:

The Clangers - may absolute first love as a kid.  Never missed The Clangers.
Bagpuss - still and absolute treat to watch on a quiet evening now.

Slightly later in my childhood, i absolutely loved Monkey, and also The Water Margin (although i had no idea what was going on there).  I guess its from these two that my enduring affection for 'the East' comes, and why i'm now such a fan of the Studio Ghibli movies.  My wife spent a lot of her childhood in Hong Kong and its through her childhood love such as My Neighbour Totoro that she introduced by to these gems.

Born in 1963 for Kev1964, which I imagine makes me a year older given your nom de forum or what ever you call it!

Yep the Clangers and Bagpuss absolutely fantastic, as was Michael Bentines 'Potty time' . I loved the Wooden Tops as a kid and one of my earliest tv memories .

What about Mr Benn or Crystal Tips and Alistair; the former a classic the latter less so.

Mary, Mungo and Midge anyone?

Hong Kong Fooey - brilliant.

Inch High Private Eye.

Captain Pugwash - just awesome, even though Master Bates and Seaman Staines were never in the show .

Blue Peter - I always looked forward to seeing how they made stuff for Action Man etc. The joys of making your own stuff rather than buying it off the shelf these days.

I'm glad somene else remembers the film The Last Valley. Only ever seen it once, back in the early 80's but thought it was brilliant.

Oliver Postgate was genius.....And yes, I'd agree...I'm sure those would stand the test of time.

Steve....Yup.....Captain Pugwash...That'd still be great fun !

Personally couldn't stand Crystal Tips etc ( ...Though I could still enjoy a lot of programs that were really for viewers a fair old bit younger than myself, around this time !)

Which brings me to.....Has anyone mentioned the Magic Roundabout yet ?

Cheers - Phil.

How could we forget the Magic Roundabout . IIRC we just dubbed the French original by making the stories up based upon the action, rather than reading the original French script.

What about Hectors House?

The Herbs - this was sublime for me .

Quatermass and the Pit - scared me rigid, especially the bit where the driller falls to the ground and it ripples under him.

A for Andromeda - spoilt rather by the change of actress halfway through (even though it was the delectable Susan Hampshire).

Harry Worth (until his manerisms started to grate).


And the ones that stood the test of time:

The Goons - Still laugh-out-loud hilarious.

Round the Horne - Camp as a boy-scout jamboree, but Barry Took and Marty Feldman's scripts are still witty and funny today.

I've just realised that the last two were radio programmes. Well, we didn't get a "telly" until fairly late on.

QuoteYou mean Clopper Castle? Very cool puppet show, would make some great cartoony miniatures from the designs on that show!!

That's what I meant - Cloppa Castle; Touch of sausage finger syndrome.

Bygones and the Hasbeens doing battle for the oil... tra la la

Pugwash was brilliant as was his sort of alter ego Sir Prancelot - basically same characters and voices but in medieval garb; Arch-enemy Otto ze Blott

You're right SteveJ, how did we forget about Hector's House?

There were so many classics back then

I liked Captain Pugwash..I only found out recently that the first ones were done live!

The Herbs were good as was Ludwig and The Flashing Blade

And Trumpton, Camberwick Green and Chigley

Also the Banana Splits and Robinson Crusoe though it did go on for ages, I always enjoyed Jackanory as well

Chorlton and the Wheelies was a classic as well

QuoteThe Herbs were good as was Ludwig and The Flashing Blade

Loved the Herbs (herbidacious) and FB but have to say that Ludwig left me cold.  Never understood what was going on

Who did?

QuoteTrumpton, Camberwick Green and Chigley

Sublime entertainment

Robinson Crusoe and The Flashing Blade on during the Summer holidays, both with great opening sound tracks! " You've got to fight for what you want and all that you believe..."

And Trumpton, Camberwick Green and Chigley

Yes!  Yes!! Yes!!!

I loved the one where the windmill stopped and they found Windy Miller sleeping off a mammoth cider binge.  Still cracks me up today!   

Button Moon was one of the oldest I remember, after that it was the 80's cartoons like 'Thundercats', 'Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors' and 'The Mysterious Cities of Gold'.  Actually Fierce Kitty might like that last one:

What about Fingerbobs?

Now I've typed it it seems quite rude
